answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2018 answer text <p>We undertake valuations of the public service pension schemes every four years. This is the first time that a full assessment of the pension schemes has been undertaken since the government introduced reformed schemes in 2015. Early indications are that the amount employers pay towards the schemes will need to increase. This is because of proposed changes to the discount rate, which is used to assess the current cost of future payments from the schemes, to reflect the Office for Budget Responsibility’s long-term growth forecasts. Further details will be known later this year.</p><p>Some increase in costs was anticipated at Budget 16, which departments and the devolved administrations will need to meet in full. Treasury will be supporting departments with any unforeseen costs for 2019/20. Further discussions will be taken forward as part of the Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/10/2018 13:37:48 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
